On February 15, significant progress was made in the construction of the 100,000-ton/year nylon 66 production facility at Liaoyang Petrochemical Company; the power supply system was successfully connected for the first time, which will provide electrical power to support the phased commissioning of the three production units.
The Liaoyang Petrochemical Nylon 66 project has a total investment of 1.21 billion yuan. Construction began on March 15, 2024, and it includes facilities for producing 50,000 tons per year of adiponitrile, 50,000 tons per year of adipamide, 120,000 tons per year of salts, and 100,000 tons per year of Nylon 66. This will result in the creation of a complete industrial chain for adipic acid, adiponitrile, adipamide, and Nylon 66. This project is an important part of Liaoyang Petrochemical’s strategic goal of becoming a leader in industries and products with distinct characteristics; it will complete the industrial chain of China National Petroleum Corporation, enabling integrated development. The key monomers for nylon 66, as well as the production technologies for high-quality textile-grade nylon 66, have long been under foreign control, which significantly affects the autonomy and control over the industrial chain and hinders the high-quality development of key industries in China. In response to the urgent need for lightweight, wear-resistant, flame-retardant nylon 66, Liaoyang Petrochemical has independently developed a complete set of technologies for producing nylon 66 using benzene as the sole raw material. By leveraging the advantages of benzene resources, it has created an industrial chain that is under its own control, thereby ensuring security for industrial development in key sectors. Power supply to the substation system is a crucial step in ensuring power supply for the electrical systems of the adipic acid, adiponitrile, and polymerization units in the project. It is a decisive factor determining whether these units can proceed with trial operations successfully, and it also represents an important milestone in the transition of the project from static installation to dynamic trial operation.
